Description

Acharya Prashant explains the relationship between the observer, the observed, and the Absolute. He clarifies that while the world of diversity (the observed) and the individual self (the observer) form a duality, they both originate from and dissolve into the Absolute, which is non-dual. He emphasizes that the observer and the observed are born together like twins; one cannot exist without the other. He critiques modern science for attempting to analyze the ancient universe using today's consciousness, likening it to using a modern programming language interpreter to read an incompatible old code. He asserts that consciousness and matter are two ends of the same duality, and the nature of matter is determined by the nature of the consciousness perceiving it. Addressing the transformation in the relationship between Shri Krishna and Arjun, Acharya Prashant discusses Arjun's realization after witnessing the Universal Form. Arjun feels deep regret for his past casual and sometimes disrespectful behavior toward Shri Krishna, whom he previously regarded merely as a friend or relative. Acharya Prashant explains that while the old, superficial relationship based on ignorance must break, it is replaced by a much higher and more beautiful bond based on truth. He notes that Maya not only makes the false appear true but also hides the true nature of reality, such as making gold appear as common soil. Recognizing the true stature of a guide like Shri Krishna is essential for one's own benefit and spiritual growth.
